Sorry, this is going to be a (relatively) short one readers - been stuck on the paid work.
I’m starting off here back with a clip I put on in this update:

This is the Art Woo Woo clip. This concerns the cancellation of great art by the woke warriors. One of my favourite English authors is Joseph Conrad who is now regarded as unacceptable because he was supposedly some kind of British imperialist ( aside from the fact that he was actually a Polish immigrant). I haven’t got time to go into the fine detail now but , suffice to say that a lot of his novels looked at the individual faced with the great struggle between good and evil. I regard Conrad as one of the greatest writers in the English canon. For more detail on this matter in general see the wonderful discussion between Jordan Peterson and Andrew Doyle:

The woke warriors will probably be blithely unaware that the great Francis Ford Coppola film Apocalypse Now is based on the Conrad novel Heart of Darkness.
In the film Captain Willard ( Martin Sheen) is sent to try and find Colonel Kurtz ( Marlon Brando) who has disappeared into Cambodia where he is now revered as a semi-god. The novel was originally set in Africa but the film moves the location to the war in Vietnam. Both the book and the film are a trip into the human psyche and, as I say, the conflict between ( to put it bluntly) good and evil within one individual.
Meanwhile in Donegal
Thanks to a reader for bringing to my attention a certain ‘furry’ called Tara Hewitt ( a trans identifying male), a director of Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) holding a Pride event in Falcarraigh in County Donegal. There is a discussion by Róisín Michaux with a trans widow, Jenny about how TENI try to influence local communities:

I can’t quite get my head around it yet!! Let me have your thoughts, dear readers.
Baroness Falkner
I am very sad to report that the investigation into Baroness Falkner, the director of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has been re-started. I am convinced that this is trumped up by anti-women activists embedded in EHRC and it is the kind of distraction that we could do without ( that reminds one of the action by Mermaids against LGB Alliance).
Gwyn Wright on PA Media ( Investigation re-starts into human rights watchdog chair over behaviour claims 18 July) reports:
An investigation into the chair of the human rights watchdog over claims about her conduct at work has re-started.
In May, Channel 4 News revealed Equality and Human Rights Commission chair Baroness Kishwer Falkner was being investigated by an independent barrister after allegations about her behaviour were made by a member of staff.
Claims about alleged bullying and harassment, a toxic workplace culture and internal concerns about its independence and impartiality have also been made, the broadcaster reported.
The revelations proved controversial with supporters saying she was being targeted by pro-trans rights activists inside the commission.
The probe was paused for legal advice to be sought but it has now been re-opened.
An EHRC spokesperson said: “Following legal advice, the pause on the investigation has been lifted.
“We are unable to comment further to protect the integrity of the investigation and to ensure fairness to all parties.”
Baroness Falkner told the broadcaster in May: “I, of course, take these allegations very seriously and with humility.
“I will be cooperating fully with the investigation by presenting a detailed rebuttal and have every confidence in being exonerated.
“I am not aware of any formal employment complaints having been brought against me during my tenure as chairwoman.
“At this point, no findings have been made in relation to me, the board or any individual commissioner.
“While these matters are being investigated, it would be wrong for me to offer a point by point rebuttal through the media.
“I am always prepared to take criticism, to reflect on my decisions and to hear from those I may have inadvertently upset by my actions or those of the board.”
Best wishes to Baroness Falkner and I hope she can see this nonsense through.
Let Women Speak
And finally…
I think we need a straight talking woman to fight back against this madness. Bring on Nana Akua:
The hounding of Baroness Falkner is disgusting but I can’t even begin to express my feelings about the babies. I’m sending the info to loads of people- GB News, MPs , newspapers. I really hope someone picks up on it.
